OUR DESIGNING SERVICES

Often times, clients will come to us with great ideas that need to be fleshed out, solidified and validated. As the name implies, “Team Work Sessions” are all about rolling up our sleeves and working together to transform and shape ideas into tangible, meaningful and usable products.

Our team comes to the table with years of experience working with a wide range of different technology solutions at both large corporations, Big IT firms and small startups. This experience enables us to see ahead to possibilities, opportunities and road bumps that our clients may not have seen before. When we get together to conduct our Team Work Sessions, we focus less on documentation and more on brainstorming ideas, sketching designs and shaping your software product.

Time and time again, when we are brought into a project to design a user experience, we learn that no one has spent any time with the users. What’s even more surprising is not only what we learn each time we shadow users but what our clients learn. In some cases, user shadowing reveals immense flaws in business processes, inefficiencies in redundant tasks, violations of compliance policies and much more. The bottom line is that there simply is no better to learn how to design for your users than to spend some time with them.

Getting a user from Point A to Point B may not always be a straight line, but it should still be the path of least resistance. Deciding where content, features and functions reside within an interface is a critical to good design. To achieve this, we begin with some basic Information Design exercises, such as card sorting, site architecture maps and task flow diagrams.

Sure, you can build a house without blueprints – but you shouldn’t. You can also develop a software product without designing a prototype first – but you shouldn’t. The premise is simple: it is easier, less expensive and smarter to make changes to the design of a house or the design of a software product before it is built. Our prototypes may be “non-functional” in that there is no code making calls to a database, but they feel very much like a live product.

Do you really need to develop 3-4 separate native mobile apps or websites, or do you just need them to display properly on all devices? This is the first question most businesses should ask themselves before investing in any development project.

With Responsive Design, we can design and develop a single front-end for your app that automatically adjusts itself to a layout that is optimized for the user’s display size. Responsive Design also enables businesses to maintain and update a single web-based version of their app instead of individual platform-specific instances developed for iOS, Android, Windows, etc.
